Andrei Kirilenko has signed with CSKA Moscow.

Kirilenko will return home for the rest of the season after being waived by the Sixers and it looks like this is the end of his NBA career. "I am glad to be back to my favorite team, where I played in the beginning of my careeer, then in the middle of it," Kirilenko said. "I understand that the time has come to think about quitting as a pro player and in my opinion it is better to do it in my dear club’s uniform." Feb 24 - 9:26 AM

Andrei Kirilenko is expected to sign with CSKA Moscow once he clears waivers.

This could be the end of Kirilenko's NBA career and it's hard to blame him for not wanting to play for the lowly 76ers. We will let you know once the deal becomes official, but Kirilenko is well off the fantasy radar now. Feb 22 - 12:03 PM

If Andrei Kirilenko clears waivers, he is reportedly eyeing a return to Europe according to Marc Stein of ESPN.

Teams such as the Clippers, Cavaliers or Heat may come calling, but Kirilenko has had a rough couple of years so a return to Europe makes a lot of sense. We will let you know where he ends up, but he is well off the fantasy radar in most leagues at the moment. Feb 21 - 11:08 PM

He never played for the 76ers and hasn't played in a game since Nov. 13. Kirilenko probably won't get much interest from other teams and his career could be over. Although, maybe the Heat make a run at him. He was already suspended from the team, so the Philly roster remains at 15 players. Feb 21 - 5:03 PM

The 76ers may provide an updated timetable in the coming weeks, but Wroten is out for the season and is questionable for the start of the 2015-16 season. Wroten will earn a guaranteed $2.2 million in Philadelphia next year, and if all goes well he could land a lucrative deal in restricted free agency prior to the 2016-17 season. His absence has guaranteed unlimited touches for Michael Carter-Williams, while opening up minutes for guys like JaKarr Sampson, K.J. McDaniels and Jerami Grant.

Robert Covington (elbow) and Jason Richardson (rest) will not play Monday against the Raptors.

The 76ers are going to start Isaiah Canaan, JaKarr Sampson, Luc Mbah a Moute, Nerlens Noel and Henry Sims in a bigger lineup. As for Covington, he has a shot to play Wednesday and his elbow injury doesn't sound severe. That said, his owners will probably want to bench him given how he hasn't played well. To be clear, he should be owned in all leagues. Jerami Grant and Hollis Thompson benefit more than Sampson does for most fantasy owners.

Head coach Brett Brown said it would be misleading to say anything promising about Embiid playing this season.

This all but assures what we already knew, and the 76ers have no reason to risk his health as they continue to rebuild towards the future. Embiid is loaded with potential, but there is no question that he carries a lot of injury risk. Outside of keeper leagues, Embiid can be left on the wire.
